Sketch - ability to amend chord inversion octave etc directly in Sketch

Scaler 3 Feature Requests

Hi - couldn’t find any pending request.

Understand Sketch is due to be updated soon.

Hoping functionality to select inversions/ change octave for chords directly in Sketch page will be added as I find my inspiration quickly disappears when I find I can’t get to the chord sound I want.I like to work in sketch page before committing to Main song timeline

Perhaps there is a recommended current best approach/workflow

Appreciate any suggestions in meantime.

Thanks

Just select the chord(s) you want to change in the midi editor. It brings up options to change the octave and inversion for the selected chords.

Thanks - so I added some Sketch chords to Main track and tried to amend in Midi Editor as suggested.

The Octaves and Inversion boxes show but I cannot amend.

Is there a lock button somewhere I need to check for?

They have a kind of odd drag method to adjust. Click on it and drag up and down to modify

The button on the adjustment pane could use some highlighting to show that it is a button.

Thanks - not intuitive to drag up/ down but works as you advise

So if I copy wayward Sketch chord to Main track then edit in Midi-Editor and send back to relevant Sketch then all is good.

If possible, it would be useful if I could do this in Sketch directly as I create parts for song structure there before moving to Main.

Keep up the good work

I just remembered that you can also do it on the create page:

If you edit the click on the chord in the main track, it will take you here where you can also change it. Not only by selecting those but the keyboard lets you further customize the voicing.
